21st Century Personnel

We are now Hiring Entry-Level Class A CDL Drivers – in Richmond VA and surrounding areas

Did you just get your Class A CDL? Are you struggling to find a company that will give you a chance? We understand how it can be difficult to get started in this industry without experience—and we’re here to help.

If you have your Class A license you can get started with us with no prior experience. This is an entry-level position designed for recent graduates (in the last 2 years)of a CDL training program (at least 120 hour program) who are ready to begin their Over-The-Road (OTR) career.

We are offering:
  • 23 immediate job openings

  • Your weekly pay:

    • $650/week during training in your first 30 days

    • $1,200–$1,600+ per week after training (depending on route)

  • Comprehensive benefits available after 30 days:

    • Medical, dental, vision, ect 401(k), paid vacation

    • $10,000 in company-paid life insurance

    • Disability insurance

  • Flexible home time options: OTR, regional, or dedicated runs

  • CDL tuition reimbursement up to $1,000 if you paid for your own schooling

  • Free college tuition for you or one immediate family member

  • Newer, well-maintained Freightliners (mostly automatic transmissions)

What You Can Expect:
  • A straightforward and fast hiring process

  • High-quality training with professional, experienced trainers

  • Hands-on driving experience to help build your skills and confidence

  • Opportunities in various divisions: dry van, reefer, and flatbed

  • A strong foundation to build your OTR resume—even if you start regionally or on dedicated routes

Orientation & Training Process:
  1. Submit your application—we’ll contact you for a short phone interview

  2. We guide you through the initial paperwork and online application

  3. Your application is reviewed by a Class A hiring specialist

  4. Upon approval, you'll attend a 1 1/2 day orientation

  5. After orientation, you'll begin 4 weeks of on-the-road training ($650/week) You won't get home during this time.

  6. Following training, you’ll take a short break at home to unwind (2–5 days)

  7. Afterwards you'll then meet with your fleet manager to select your route and start as a full-time solo driver paying #1200-$1600 and up.

Requirements:
  • You must be at least 21 years old

  • Currently hold a valid Class A CDL and current DOT physical

  • Recently graduated from a 120-hour CDL training academy within the past 2 years, we'll need a copy of your certificate of completion. 

  • Possess a clean driving record (no pending tickets) Any accidents in the last 5 years we need the accident report
    Any tickets in the last 3 years, we will need a copy of the ticket

  • You must pass all DOT requirements, including hair or urine drug screening

  • Be able to pass an extensive background check

  • You must be willing and able to start within the next few weeks

We are now accepting applicants in the Richmond area and surrounding regions. Start your driving career on the right foot—with a company that values your potential and invests in your future.

Once you apply today you will take the first step toward a successful, long-term trucking career.
